Yield Serves 6 to 8

Number Of Ingredients 9

a scant cup sliced almonds (3 1/2 ounces), toasted lightly
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
6 ounces fine-quality white chocolate, chopped
2 large eggs
1/3 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
1 1/2 cups chilled heavy cream

Steps:

  • Line a metal loaf pan, 8 1/2 by 4 1/2 by 2 1/2 inches, with plastic wrap, leaving a 2-inch overhang on ends, and chill in freezer.
  • In a skillet cook almonds with salt in butter over moderately low heat, stirring, until almonds are coated well, about 1 minute. Chill almonds until cold.
  • In a metal bowl set over a pan of hot but not simmering water melt chocolate, stirring occasionally, and remove bowl from heat.
  • In another metal bowl beat eggs with sugar to combine. Set bowl over a pan of simmering water and beat until thick and pale and mixture registers 140°F. on an instant-read thermometer. Continue beating over simmering water 3 minutes (for egg safely) and remove from heat. Beat in chocolate, vanilla, and almond extract.
  • In another bowl beat cream until it just holds stiff peaks and fold into egg mixture gently but thoroughly. Fold in almonds and pour mixture into prepared pan. Cover pan with plastic wrap and freeze semifreddo 8 hours or overnight.
  • Unmold semifreddo onto a platter, discarding plastic wrap, and cut into thick slices. Cut slices crosswise into thirds and serve with Lemon Rhubarb Cake Roll.

This semifreddo is a great make-ahead dessert. I made it the day before my party and it was perfect. It was easy to slice and serve, and everyone loved it.

I'm not a fan of white chocolate, so I wasn't sure if I would like this semifreddo. But I was surprised at how much I enjoyed it! The toasted almonds added a nice crunch and the overall flavor was very well-balanced.

This semifreddo was a lot of work to make and it didn't taste that great. I wouldn't recommend it.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my semifreddo didn't turn out as smooth as I expected. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

This semifreddo was a little too sweet for my taste, but it was still good. I think I would reduce the amount of sugar next time.
